Unfortunately, Stanford will be lucky to make the tournament this year as I thought months ago. I was able to catch some of the singles yesterday and it is clear that this team is not a top 40 team. I hope they will improve as the season moves on but it does not look like they are a tournament team.:cry:

If JP McEnroe comes back to finish college, would he be available for the team ?

The pre-season and first ranking period are horrible this year. They're so bad it will take another 3 or 4 rankings to sort it all out.

The early ranking are polls. After the NTI finishes in a few weeks, they convert to the computer rankings. There is no reason for the polls to take a long time to sort out, other than inertia and ignorance on the part of the voters.

They just copy the rankings of last year with minor changes when results happen. I'm not sure they really follow college tennis.

College tennis hasn't figured it out yet. All the rules changes, scoring changes, format changes, point penalty changes won't do a bit of good until they figure out how to put up a proper, working, scoring system and video on the Internet.

Was one of the teams I was thinking of but did not want to name names before the first couple matches. My improssion was based off watching them at the ITA Indoor last fall. They'll still have a good year.
